That's right. Hot dog. I already had this excellent alfredo sauce made from a recipe in Quick and Easy Ketogenic Cooking, by Maria Emmerich. Someone really cool bought me this book a few days ago and I didn't want to wait for Christmas to start using it. I made some of the alfredo sauce a few days ago to eat with some chicken and shrimp and loved it. That same day I ordered some Miracle Noodles, which I also learned about in said book. They arrived yesterday, and I was really eager to try them this morning.

Four miles of running this morning (which included most of Episode Six of The Man in the High Castle) made me quite ready for some alfredo for lunch. Alas, I discovered that the four ounces of leftover chicken I had in the fridge was actually zero ounces. Apparently I ate it yesterday...

I did, however, have hot dogs. Another of Ms. Emmerich's recipes, Pigs In A Bacon Blanket, called for hot dogs, so...why not try them in alfredo sauce? The noodles took two minutes to boil, the sauce and dog took about a minute to heat. Since the noodles are zero calorie, zero carb, the whole meal came to about 310 calories and around 1 gram of carb. (Oscar Meyer Premium Beef Franks are 130 calories each.) I'm re-reading Dune right now and I'm happy to report it goes just fine with hot dog alfredo.
